Freshmen Daze
Welcome to Power. Welcome to Y2K
The Next Beginning: Freshman Daze marks a pivotal shift for the young characters of The Daze, as they step into high school—a world both thrilling and unforgiving. Some arrive prepared, bracing for the expected, while others are blindsided by the unexpected realities of this new chapter. No matter their approach, one truth remains: they are now at the bottom of the schoolyard hierarchy, struggling to find their footing in a chaotic and unfamiliar landscape.
Freshman year is more than just an academic hurdle; it is a crucible where friendships are tested, identities evolve, and hard-earned lessons from the past year face new trials. Childhood’s echoes still linger, yet they are gradually overshadowed by the weight of adolescence. Within this liminal space, they must navigate the intricate web of high school dynamics—balancing endurance, unity, and moments of fleeting joy.
As they forge new alliances and redefine old ones, they awaken to a world of uncharted possibilities. The path ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: this year will shape them in ways they never imagined.
